java - Gemfire startup with gfsh: ClassNotFound error in gfsh start server -

i have following environment:os - windows7

spring-application-context.xml: contains single bean:

steps: 1. start gfsh directory - c:\myworkspace\pivotal_gemfire_800_b48398_windows

2. start locator: start locator --name=locator1 --port=10334

3. start server:

start server --name=server1 --server-port=40411 --cache-xml-file=c:\myworkspace\codebase\contentservices\content-loaderwriter\src\test\resources\cache-loader-writer.xml --classpath=c:\myworkspace\codebase\contentservices\content-loaderwriter\target\content-loaderwriter-0.0.1-snapshot.jar 

but throwing: java.lang.classnotfoundexception: org.springframework.data.gemfire.support.springcontextbootstrappinginitializer

i added gemfire jars above spring-data-gemfire jar (from repo) in classpath variable. still getting exception. seems not resolve maven dependencies/classpath.

4. if try provide multiple jars in classpath in gfsh start server command:

start server --name=server1 --server-port=40411 --cache-xml-file="c:\myworkspace\codebase\contentservices\content-loaderwriter\src\test\resources\cache-loader-writer.xml" --classpath="c:\myworkspace\repository\org\springframework\data\spring-data-gemfire\1.5.1.release\spring-data-gemfire-1.5.1.release.jar:c:\myworkspace\codebase\contentservices\content-loaderwriter\target\content-loaderwriter-0.0.1-snapshot.jar" 

i still classnotfoundexception. not resolving jars provided in classpath.

can please help?

i think problem have ':' separator character in class path. windows wants ';' here. not need set classpath environment variable in case.

however, need other jars spring-data-gemfire depends upon. looks using maven here easy way class path of project dependencies including transitive ones.

in project directory, run "mvn -dexcludeartifactids=gemfire dependency:build-classpath". give of dependencies other gemfire (which provided automatically). add application jar resulting classpath , should have need.

also, based on doing, interested in "--spring-xml-location" option added "gfsh start" command in 8.1. allows dispense "cache.xml" , define in spring context file using "gfe" namespace provided spring-data-gemfire.
